Answer:

x = -2, x = 3 − i√8, and x = 3 + i√8

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = x³ − 4x² − x + 22

This is a cubic equation, so it must have either 1 or 3 real roots.

Using rational root theorem, we can check if any of those real roots are rational.  Possible rational roots are ±1, ±2, ±11, and ±22.

g(-1) = 18

g(1) = 18

g(-2) = 0

g(2) = 12

g(-11) = 1782

g(11) = 858

g(-22) = -12540

g(22) = 8712

We know -2 is a root.  The other two roots are irrational.  To find them, we must find the other factor of g(x).  We can do this using long division, or we can factor using grouping.

g(x) = x³ − 4x² − 12x + 11x + 22

g(x) = x (x² − 4x − 12) + 11 (x + 2)

g(x) = x (x − 6) (x + 2) + 11 (x + 2)

g(x) = (x (x − 6) + 11) (x + 2)

g(x) = (x² − 6x + 11) (x + 2)

x² − 6x + 11 = 0

Quadratic formula:

x = [ 6 ± √(36 − 4(1)(11)) ] / 2

x = (6 ± 2i√8) / 2

x = 3 ± i√8

The three roots are x = -2, x = 3 − i√8, and x = 3 + i√8.

I need help plz ???
jasenka [17]

Answer: M=-2 , B= 2 , Equation: Y= -2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

M is the slope. Slope is "rise / run", so 2 over -1. simplified, that is -2. B is the y-intercept, or where the graph crosses the y-axis. So, b will be 2.
